Psalm 140:1-13
140:1-3 We do wisely to pray to God to defend us from the machinations of worldly minds.
140:4-5 Much of the secular world is centered around self-interest. The people in their periphery are often harmed by their pursuits and objectives. Yet even when harm is done intentionally, we can trust that God is able to restore us and even protect us.
140:6-8 It all begins with the conviction, the heartfelt belief, that God is our God: Omniscient, omnipotent, but also compassionate and attentive. We are not vulnerable to destruction because we are strong in our creator.
140:9-11 Children of God always have peace and hope in the fact that God will restore justice to earth. Every evil power that crops up will be overthrown, has an expiration date, is temporary.
140:12-13 The just however, have inherited life. We have comfort knowing that God will maintain the cause of the afflicted. He effort is toward the downtrodden and the kind and humble. The righteous have been absorbed by Him as family. Therefore we live with gratitude that we have Him now and always.
